A SENSATIONAL COSTUME.
senator HOar's Unique Taste I'm
Dress.

Next to ex-senator Malone, the
most unique person who visits Goth
am is Senator George Frisbie Hoar, OF
Massachusetts. He has more flesh
than the Virginian, but in competi-
ton for prize for eccentricities of man.
ner the result would be tie. Senator
Hoar has a rather cherubic counte-
nance, though little wrinkles of irony
and sarcasm mark his clean-shaven
face. His shoulders are thick-set,
and rounded off as if in early youth he
had hoed too many potatoes. His
body is short and not quite heavy
enough for his legs, The costume he
wears is made more on the broad
gauge plan than ex-senator Mahone's.
The trousers the Bay state senator
habitually wears, taken in conjunction
with the short sack coat hung over
his shoulders, recalls the lines of the
Arkansas poet:
~He wore his shirt outside of his coat
And buckled his trousers under his throat y
No matter what the state of the
weather is, he wears pair of specta-
cles and short sack coat. The rea-
son he always wears a sack coat is
this: A delegation of female suffra-
gists waited upon him one day when
he was advocating heir-rights SO elo-
quently before the Senate, and all con-
graduated him upon his becoming
suit of clothes. He happened to have
on a short sack coat that day, which
gave him a jaunty, sailor-like air,
and he has worn one ever since.
His trousers bag at the knee, and
hence his reason for buckling them
30 high up under his arms. His hat
is low-crowned and narrow-brimmed
and sets upon the back part of his
head. His voice has a rasping sharp
ness to it, cross between an asth-
matte squeak and the sound of tearing
cheap calico 1t is penetrating, and
when raised to high pitch is calcu-
lated to make the flesh crawl, produc-
ing the same sensation almost as
scraping glass. While in the city he
is an embodiment of perpetual mo-
ton, especially when he happens to
find himself in a hotel corridor.

From the New York world.]
A competition among architects is
now in progress for securing the adop-
ton of plans for the proposed big
amusement building to be erected on
the site of the Madison Square Gar
den. The general plan of the build
ing has already been decided on. The
outline will be of brick or stone, !,
of fine architectural appearance
and the interior of iron. There will
be basement sixteen feet in depth to
cover the entire block. This will con-
tain Turkish baths, an aquarium,
bowling alleys, shooting galleries and
stabling for about 450 horses, besides
quarters for elephants and other large
animals in case there should be a
menagerie located there. On the
ground floor will be the amphi-
fheater, larger than the present
one and fitted with permanent
seats to accommodate not less than
5000 or 1000 people. 1t will be ar
ranged so that extra seats can be put
in to increase the seating capacity to
1900 or even $4,000. There is no
place at present in the city for holding
. big political convention or for ac-
commodating anything like that num-
ber of people. The angle between the
incline on which the permanent seats
are to be arranged and the street fronts
will be fitted up for stores. These will
probably be on all four sides, and
there will be about thirty Of them.
On the second floor, on the Madison
avenue side, will be large finely ap-
pointed theatre. 1t is intended to
make it one of the most comfortable
and roomy places of amusement in
the city. The chairs will be large and
the aisles broad and the seating capaci-
fy upward of 1,600. A number of
studios are to be put up on the Twen-
ty-seventh street side, while 'front.'
ing on Fourth avenue will be very
large ballroom, our times the size Of
any in the city. One of the plans
makes this 1913 feet long and SO feet
wide, with 36-foot ceiling. The nec-
essary supper and dressing-rooms will
be built as adjuncts to this grand hall.
On the Twenty-sixth street side will
be aconcert hall for lectures and other
entertainments.
An immense glass roof will cover
the center of the building to light the
amphitheater by day, and around this
sky-light garden will be arranged
which will be one of the novel feat
ures of the enterprise. 1t will be
covered over in winter time SO as to
be utilized as continuous place OF
amusement irrespective of the season.
Tha estimated cost of the building is
$1,000 900, and the cost of everything,
including the price for the site, will be
nearly q, 10000
